What exactly are you struggling with? What do you know already?
One can always begin by learning about the signs of the zodiac themselves, the planets and their characteristics. Then, start learning about the chart: the angles (AC, MC, DC, IC) and the houses, the elements, modalities, triplicities and quadrants. This is the most basic knowledge necessary to understand and read charts.
You can find everything I mentioned easily on the internet, just google the terms and read the results. Thoroughly.
Also, get a drawing of your own chart and start trying to figure it out (go to http://astro.com and select "Free Horoscopes" from the menu, then go to the bottom of the page and select "Chart drawing, Ascendant"). It's much easier to learn stuff by looking at your own chart.
If you have any trouble figuring something out, just ask and I (and the other members, I'm sure) will be glad to help.

Hello Ashley, the best way to start is to learn the 12 signs of the Zodiac, what their elements are and also know the characteristics of each element. Additionally learn which planets rule each sign and which houses they also rule. Each planet rules a sign/s and a house.
For example Neptune, is of the water element, rules Pisces and the 12th house. Neptune, Pisces and the 12th house are all connected with, Spirituality, Deception, Illusion, Dreams, Ideals, Compassion, Drugs and Alcohol, the Oceans etc.
The houses are the positions in which a sign or planet appears in the sky.
If you know your birthtime, go to www.astro.com click free charts, personal portrait and upload your birth information. At the bottom you'll find the houses your planets are located in as well as the signs.
Hope this helps.

Greetings, I sincerely hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times.I am very new to astrology and would like to humbly ask a few questions concerning my natal chart without revealing too much sensitive information.
1. First I was wondering if there is a definitive method of tracking planetary alignment and transits because I notice the clergy and many other Satanists are on top of these 100 percent.2. My second question is about my chart ruler.. If the chart ruler is a malefic planet does that mean that this planet totally describes who I am and does this mean that it will be much more difficult to subjugate it's energies through power meditation?3. I have another malefic planet in my chart that is at 0 degrees of aries. I read at Joy of Satan that a planet that is 0 degrees means that there are events in relation to this planet that are pending or are yet to come. What does this mean if this planet has a transit over my natal chart?

1.The current, past, and future positions of the planets are all over the internet. Planetwatcher is one such website that provides planetary positions. ZET 9 is a free astrology software that you can use offline in case the internet goes down.

2. Having a malefic planet as your chart ruler does NOT mean you are doomed to disaster and misfortune. For example, someone with Saturn as their chart ruler can be very grounded, hard-working, and practical with much endurance and self-discipline. People with a Capricorn emphasis (ruled by Saturn) make excellent businessmen and are careful with their money. Saturn can be very positive by providing grounding into reality. People who lack grounding are the uncontrolled egotists, the people who have no stability in their lives, and are out of touch with reality to the point it ruins them.
3. If the malefic planet you are referring to is Mars at 0 degrees of Aries, that can be a very good thing. A strong Mars in Aries provides vitality and self-confidence.
The natal planet at 0 degrees can be activated by transits or progressions. Major events in your life will show up in multiple forms of prediction. For example, your solar return will indicate a major new beginning in your life at the same time a progressed planet and a transiting planet are aspecting the natal planet. You can then check your lunar returns for more details regarding the time when the event will manifest.
